Firefox 2 Beta 1: code freeze moves to July 5th
beltzner
Due to the number of outstanding blocking bugs targeted at beta 1, and
the delay in getting a L10N functional NSIS installer working, the
Beta 1 milestone will be slipping a little bit:
Beta 1
Code Freeze: Wednesday, July 5th, 11:59 PDT
Beta Ship : Tuesday, July 11th
This slip is necessary for us to release a product that can get wide
testing from users in both first and second tier locales. It does,
however, put us up against the wall in our overall schedule, so we'll
have to get very cautious in terms of the risk we're willing to accept
on patches, and focus our effort on items that are on the critical
path for release.
Please focus your effort on bugs marked as blockers with a target
milestone of "Firefox2 beta1" or "mozilla1.8.1b1", landing on trunk
with appropriate reviews and requesting approval1.8.1? after some bake
time.
Of course, we recognize that there are holidays between now and July
5th, and aren't asking you to alter any vacation plans you might have.
In fact, the earlier patches get on the trunk and the longer they
bake, the better!
cheers,
mike (on behalf of 1.8.1 branch drivers)
